To desire and strive to be of some service to the world,
to aim at doing something which shall really increase the
happiness and welfare and virtue of humankind--this
is a choice which is possible for all of us; and surely
it is a good haven to sail for.
Henry Van Dyke0 -
I believe that life is given us so we may grow in love, and I believe
that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance
of a flower--the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.

The Toltec tradition tells us that we surrender a portion of our life force when we dwell on any unhealed wounding event from our past. The unprocessed emotions surrounding these events burden us and weigh heavily on our hearts. They must be dealt with if we want access to all of our vitality. Ultimately, what we will find is that forgiveness is the key to reclaiming all the life force locked in past hurt.

Would that there were an award for people who come to understand
the concept of enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin
enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When
you have self-respect, you have enough.

True forgiveness will become easier when we learn to empathize and
apologize; when we admit we are human too, capable of wrongdoing;
when we make allowances for circumstances we may not understand;
when we have faith in the basic good of personkind, when we are
willing to start again with compassion and without grudges. The
Hebrew word for compassion is derived from rechem, meaning
womb. The inference is a new birth, suggesting a fresh start. This
fresh start brings with it a deeper understanding of the futility of
grudges, expectations, and unresolved hate and anger
and renews our hope in the power of love.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

There is a little plant called reverence in the corner of my soul's garden, which I love to have watered once a week.
Oliver Wendell Holmes0 -
Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult—once we truly understand and accept it—then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. -M. Scott Peck

Real success requires respect for and faithfulness to the highest
human values--honesty, integrity, self-discipline, dignity,
compassion, humility, courage, personal
responsibility, courtesy, and human service.

This morning take a few minutes to reflect on how you give of
yourself to the world. Often we get caught up in the frenzy
of buying and giving things.
Look at the ways you give appreciation, friendship, energy,
time, love, and affection, and give of your own special talents
and abilities throughout the year. Acknowledge yourself for
having enriched the lives of others. Spend some time loving
yourself for the giving light that you are.
Shakti Gawain0 -
People only begin to grow when they cease to whine and revile, and commence
to search for the hidden justice which regulates their lives. And as they adapt
their minds to that regulating factor, they cease to accuse others as the cause
of their condition, and build themselves up in strong and noble thoughts. They
cease to kick against circumstances, but begin to use them as aids to their more
rapid progress, and as a means of discovering the hidden
powers and possibilities within themselves.
